AddThis Social Bookmarking

Code Select Expand


addthis_pub    = ''   <-- enter your addthis account name

Add this anywhere you like...

What file, and where in that file, do you recommend?

[Marook]

Depends on where it should appear.... display.template.php is a good place

[Neorics]

this is cool, thanks for sharing!

[Marook]

you're welcome

Do you know how I can change the widget button from "Bookmark" to "Share"?

I already have the Bookmarks mod for internal user bookmarks, and I don't want to confuse my users.

Thanks.

[Marook]

its not possible to change the caption of the button because its given by the addthis-javascript file...

Ok, thanks.

One more question... I have an account now at AddThis. Is there any way to use the code for the buttons that they generate from their wizard?

For example, I was given this code to add to my site:

Code Select Expand

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<script type="text/javascript">addthis_pub  = 'ericstepp';</script>
<a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', '[URL]', '[TITLE]')"
onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()">
<img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button1-share.gif" width="125" height="16" border="0" alt="" />
</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/152/addthis_widget.js"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->


But, I keep getting parser errors when I replace the mod code with the above.

[Marook]

you have to escape the ' signs... like this

from this :

Code Select Expand


<script type="text/javascript">addthis_pub  = 'ericstepp';</script>


to this....

Code Select Expand


<script type="text/javascript">addthis_pub  = \'ericstepp\';</script>


You see ' is replaced with \'
you have to replace all other ' signs too...

How is ' called in english ?? hmmm......[/code]

Awesome, thanks. I'll give that a shot.  It worked a charm.

How is ' called in english ?? hmmm......

An apostrophe if it is part of a contraction, grammatically.

I think in this instance, they're called "single quotes".

Hey Marook,
I can't make this mod work on my forum. Can you help me please? The button is not showing; I tried all possibilities in the code. Manually, by the copy/paste code.
Thanks to help. My forum link is in the signature.

To what file should I 'add this anywhere I like?'

[Marook]

yeah "anywhere you like" means "anywhere you like"

[neil h]

Hi Marook,

We are having a lot of problems getting this mod to work. We've tried adding it via the instructions here as well as using the manual install instructions for 1.1.5 from the mod site. It's still not showing up in our forum.  I used the nopaste that you listed in a previous post-but am not sure what to do with that now. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

[Marook]

Its the same code as your Add-This widget under your donation button. Just copy it anywhere you want...

Yes we have tried that, as well as trying the code you've provided. Believe me I have surely noticed how many times you have already said that in this thread. It sounds so easy and yet, it doesn't show up in our forum. We are using the absado theme- don't know if that makes a difference or not.

[Marook]

ok that sounds funny...i will do that for you, please send me your theme and tell me where you want to appear the widget... and believe me, its soooo easy

That is so nice of you, you're a gem!

We would like it to appear above the <<previous next>> links.

Thanks again!
